Born of its ever changing Never changing murky water
Oh riverboat just rolling along Through the great great greasy city
Huck standing like a saint upon its deck
If ya wanna catch a saint
Then bait ya hook let's take a walk
O come to me o come to me is what the dirty city
Say to Huck Huck
Saint Huck Huck
Straight in the arms of the city goes Huck
Down the beckoning streets of op po tunity
Whistling his favorite river song
And a bad blind n****r at the piano Buts a sinister blooo lilt into that sing a long
Huck senses something's wrong
Sirens wail in the city
And lil Ulysses turn to putty
And ol' man river's got a bone to pick
And our boy's hardly got a bone to suck
He go
Saint Huck Huck
The mo o o on its huge cycloptic eye
Watches the city streets contract
Twist and cripple and crack
Saint Huck goes on a dog's leg now Saint Huck goes on a dog's leg now
You know the story
Ya wake up one morning and you find you're a thug
Blowing smoke rings in some dive
Ya fingers hot and itching ya cracking ya knuckles
Ya bull neck bristling
Still Huck he ventures on whistling
And death reckons huckleberry's time is up
Saint Huck
Saint Huck
Yonder go Huck minus pocket watch an' wallet gone
Skin shrink wraps his skeleton
No wonder he gets thinner What with his cold'n'skinny dinners
Saint Huck a saint Elvis saint Huck a saint Elvis
O you recall the song ya used to sing a long Shifting the river trade on that ol' steamer
Life is but a dream But ya traded in the mighty ol' man river For the dirty ol' man latrine
The brothel shift
The hustle 'n' the bustle and the green backs rustle
And all the sexy cash And the randy cars And the two dollar girl O o o ya outa luck ya outa luck
Saint Huck Huck
This is the track of deception
Leads to the heart of despair
Huck whistles like he just don't care
But in the pocket of the jacket is a chamber
Lead pellets sleeps in there
Wake up
Now Huck whistles and he kneels And he lays down there
See ya Huck good luck
A smoke ring hovers above his head
And the rats and the dogs and the men all come And put a bullet through his eye
And the drip and the drip and the drip of the Mississippi crying
And saint Huck hears his own Mississippi just rolling by him
Saint Huck saint Huck saint Huck saint Huck
Saint Huck saint Huck saint Huck saint Huck
